Like you said, it mimics the simplicity and powerful statement of the current design.  It's just ubuntu! </blockquote><div> Excellent work Who! My preferences are simple: The first splash and the first gdm theme :-) Splash 14 has been very popular, but my primary objection to it is that it is not as powerful matte/glass combination as fx 01 or 02 is. I still like 14, I just like 01 better :-) If people are so keen on 14, then why not 15 instead? The lighting is a bit more "alive" in that one... Anyway, good work, cheers, Mikkel </div> </div>
